THE 251: Musical Theatre Production

Musical Theatre Production applies acting, singing, and movement skills through a fully-produced musical theatre, collaborative production. As part of course study, students will also complete dramaturgical research to develop an appreciation of the historical significance of the production and its place in the history of Musical Theatre. Students are cast by the directors of the production, with casting decisions based on many factors including, but not limited to, production needs, and student s’ ability and availability. The Musical Theatre Production student is expected to perform the duties typically associated with his/her assigned role in a manner consistent with legitimate, professional theatre. Rehearsal expectations of students enrolled in this course are modeled after Actor’s Equity Association guidelines, which can be found at www.actorsequity.org. Attendance at scheduled meetings, evening rehearsals, and performances is mandatory, with specific requirements being based upon students’ individual assignments.
